Why do these dumb bells have a California Prop 65 warning on them? They are not rubber-coated.

I really dont know, however they do have a slight smell (more than likely just the paint).

Apparently if you chisel off the enamel off of 400 barbells, and eat it, if there is a .006 chance you could get cancer,so they put that sticker on, but hey, California even puts this warning on their bridges because of the paint, and other varieties of major companies who sell weights have this warning too. Just don't nibble on it. I have been using these weights for over four decades.

I don't believe these gloves are weighted at all so I'm sure they are California legal.

I am not familiar with Proposition 65 - Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 in California. I would treat this as a warning -- move on with using the product (which I love) because it is obviously very minimal impact due to the size of the stools. Check the rules on the proposition and decide for yourself is you should return them. I do not recall such a sticker on mine when I received them but maybe it applies to the state they are being shipped to.

It's because California requires that anything that has any trace of lead be labeled accordingly....no matter how minute the amount. Even though fruits and vegetables have traces of lead... they are not required to be labeled.

WOW...why single my comment out tonight? You did see there were others in this thread who had an issue with CA warnings? I raised three children in CA and all three survived without CA labels on every product that came into the house. I used logic and kept items like earbuds away from them when they were little. I knew CA before they got into their label happy phase. As to your attic and other comments, I will stick them where they belong with all the other labels that go in the trash.

The label has california prop 65 warning.. Says there is lead in this product. -- I just looked at the pictures here on amazon.

VIRTUALLY ALL products have THAT SAME WARNING. California is full of attorneys who love to sue companies and that warning is put on virtually all products sold in california. Some companies actually refuse to sell in CA because of their tort laws.

Nope. Was a concern. I've asked other people and unless you're in a torrential rain, I hear they are not really needed. It doesn't rain much in southern California. This doesn't foul your leg like the stocker or especially most other heavy breathers.

It is NOT lead free. In product details you can read: Proposition 65 warning!

I'm not 100% sure but I think they have been treated with a flame retardant in order to meet California specs for safety.

Ugh! I didn't even notice that. This is what I found: "Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify Californians about significant amounts of chemicals in the products they purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals. Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water." http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html I don't have to worry about it as the hose snapped off the base about a month ago. I'd take a pass on this one, if I were you. It's all plastic.

Does this mean we can't buy these as Californians? or is it just frowned upon?

http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html says the manufacturer puts the warning on the product. Where did you see the warning?

California puts that on almost everything so you can ignore it. Take a look at the California Proposition 65 (1986) on wikipedia.

Not to my knowledge. I haven't had any issues with it. Not sure what the Prop 65 warning is since I am located in DC.
